12 Days of Cocktails: Nog it Off

Okay, confession time: I don’t like, no, I LOATHE egg nog. I won’t go into the gory details, but let’s just say I was burned, badly, by this holiday staple at a party many moons ago. It also doesn’t help that I don’t care for milk (never have, even as a baby), much to the chagrin of my mother. What kind of freaky baby doesn’t like milk? So every year, like an ex who is friends with one of my cousins, I have an awkward run in with egg nog during at least one holiday party that I attend. This recipe is for those of you who have also been scarred by this creamy devil of a cocktail. I swap out regular milk for almond milk, and add in Chai tea for some spice. I know it’s a selfish recipe, but it’s delicious and instead of buying jugs of that pre-made stuff (not to mention all the time it would take to make real egg nog), try this!
